That was always the plan I thought…:confused:

See post 2103 about the debat raging around which carrier gets cats and traps SDSR say QE

http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/operations-and-support/surface-fleet/future-ships/queen-elizabeth-class/index.htm

Nice pictures of CVF in CATOBAR with interwar style round down on the stern. I notice the graphic shows openings under the sponson, are these for ships boats or even landing craft????

Sounds about right, no? A slow work up increasing the number of available assets makes sense – i’ve seen 2023 mentioned as a date for it being fully operable.

Hi Stryker

You miss the point, the ship mentioned is POW when SDSR and Dr Fox say it will be QE. Thus QE must be completed first and have done contractors trials ect and NOT be fitted with cats and traps and POW with cats and traps, launched and through contractor and acceptance by 2020!

Link to story in Guardian about recent NAO report on CVF cost and you get this comment below!

Though HMS Prince of Wales would be able to carry 36 planes, it would carry just six in the year 2020, Rear Admiral Amjad Hussain, the senior naval officer responsible for the project, told MPs.

But if i’m correct, Samson and Goliath over at H&W in Belfast are bigger are they not?
I must say, I was disappointed that the new crane was not manufactured in the UK.

Bomberboy

The ones in H & W were made in germany?

Whats the structure a 3.04 on the video?

Some interesting features, going off the two differnet images it looks like they are still indecided on the format of the port side weapon sponsons ahead of the angled deck, although i cant see the LS-30 mounting staying there in such close poximity to the angled deck and catapult flight path !.

Re Converteam, i doubt we will hear anything until the have designed and buiilt a 100m device and succesfully demonstrated it, speaking of which is the Empcat test system issues resolved following their test launch last December ?

Shouldn’t be to hard to scale this up

The large scale pictures show a much more angled deck and other differences from earlier artwork, could be the real thing.

Converteam were given a £650,000 contract to build a 100m demonstrator EMCAT, any news?

[QUOTE=flanker30;1734596]

Did you forget the Type 45, 7500-8000 tonnes and 152m?

Of course not flanker, just pointing out the back bone of the british fleet got a lot smaller for the best part of 30 years.

The real point is the countys were origanly called destroyers because they had no armour, the design coming from a range of just post war cruiser ideas mounting first a number of fast firing light guns in the 5inch or smaller range and then incorperating a anti air missile as this became available. The countys were thought of as a cruiser/destroyer design…..:)

Personaly the bigger the better!

[QUOTE=Tango III;1734446]In general the trend of design warships destroyers & frigates is to increase the tonnage weights of ships – displacement – for warships since World War II. As a logical consequence of many systems, weapons and other modern multi-systems,and helo on the board compared to counterparts from World War I/ II ships. And you can see below:

Or you could say they got smaller

County class 158.5m @5080 tonnes completed 62-70

Bristol class 154.5m@5790 tonnes completed 72 (Shorter fatter must be bad)

Type 42 125-139m@3560-3880 tonnes completed 74-83 (thinner faster must be good!)
